STAMPlorations Inspiration #174

It's all about Things With Wings on the STAMPlorations blog.  We've got a month-long blog hop and linky party, check it out here.

Throughout the month all wing-themed products are 15% off - no coupon needed.  And if you use my code STAMPGIRLSHIRLEY you'll get another 20% off.

For today's card I diecut a CUTplorations Dragonfly from Oxide-smooshed photo paper, and used a part of a Bloomtangled #1 Coverplate diecut for a bit of white-on-white detail.  The sentiment is from Noteworthy.  I attached the dragonfly just by the body, and tilted the wings slightly.  Here's a closer look:

Pop on over to the STAMPlorations blog for some more fabulous winged inspiration from the rest of the design team, and find out how to play along and maybe win yourself a prize.

Rudolph Smile

I think this is my first tag of the season!  Inspired by a couple of reindeer tags created by Michele (I Card Everyone), they reminded me that this version of Rudolph had come to live at my house in October, and I needed to step away from the Layered Holly and Leaves and Snowman for a while to play with him and all my other new purchases.

I started off by stamping the image (PaperArtsy) on white card, colouring with Tombow markers and die cutting into a circle.  I also die cut a luggage tag and phrase (CUTplorations) then added the Stickles on his antlers and proceeded to assemble the tag while the Stickles was still wet.  Not recommended.

When I was looking for some staging props for photographing, I found a case of letter tiles.  They had been randomly packed into the little compartments and it took me ages to find the letters to spell out Happy Christmas.  Needles to say, once I'd photographed the tag I sat there for a good half hour sorting out all the letters and re-packing them alphabetically into the compartments.  OCD, me???

I'm entering this into:

Loll's Twelve Tags of Christmas (my mixed media elements are marker pens, die cuts, hessian ribbons and Stickles)
